3) Transmission Procedure
Two classes are prepared and can be selected depending on the system status.
(Class B is selected at the shipment from factory.)
• Class A
One-way data transmission which requires no response from the computer.
• Class B
Two-way communication which requires response (ACK, NAK) from the computer.

In case of ACK, sends next text.
In case of NAK, resends
(up to 3 times)
Sends ACK (06H) if there is
no error, or NAK (15H) if there
is an error

Figure A-2: Transmission Procedure
4) Transmission Error
If an error is detected, the transmission is interrupted and the error message is displayed on
the IPU. The operator must recover the error. Cases of errors are as follows.
• Control signal "DSR" is OFF.
• After the data transmission, there is no response from the computer in 15 seconds. (Class
B only)
• "NAK" is sent back after transmitting three times. (Class B only)
5) Transmission Timing
Selection between the transmission for every analysis cycle and the batch transmission of
stored data is possible by the IPU settings. The data transmission interval can be set (from
zero second) also.
6) Transmission Interval
The transmission interval of sample data can be set on the IPU. The interval is a time period
after the ACK/NAK response until the next data transmission in the case of class B.
2. Data Format
The output to host computer consists of sample data and QC data, and they differ in length and
content of the text. (They are classified by the sample class codes.)
• Output of analysis results is the text data only, and the text class I is always "D."
• The text distinction II is usually "1." But when the text length is 255 bytes or more, the text
is divided into two or more for transmission, and the text block order is expressed by the
numeral of the text distinction II. (ETB code is not used.)
• Sample distinction code is "U" in the case of sample data, and is "C" in the case of QC data.
• The QC data is output in the QC format. This data can be output by the cursor range
designation in the QC menu of the IPU.
NOTE: • XE-2100 corresponds to two types of host format. As a default, the format A
is installed. If you wish to change the format from A to B, contact your Sysmex
service representative.

3. Analysis Data Format
1) Output Order
The order of transmission is from the top parameter to the bottom. The data sent is the most
significant digit first. Zero-suppression is not carried out.
2) Decimal Point
Decimal point is not sent. Therefore, it is necessary to add decimal point specified for each
item at the host computer.
3) Date

2. COMMUNICATION SPECIFICATIONS OF ANALYSIS
INFORMATION WITH HOST COMPUTER
2.1 Outline
XE-2100 has a function to load analysis information (analysis order information and patient
information) from the host computer, and perform the analysis automatically according to the
information.
1. Analysis Information Inquiry Method
XE-2100 has the following two inquiry methods.
(1) Real-time inquiry is performed just before an analysis, using the sample ID number, as
a key word, read from the bar code label attached to a sample tube.
(2) Batch inquiry is performed before an analysis by specifying a rack number. The key
words in this case are the rack number and the tube position.
2. Sample Information Inquiry Setting
Key: Sample ID Rack No./Tube Pos.
Real-time Inquiry (Manual Mode): [Sample ID]
Real-time Inquiry (Sampler Mode): [Key]

2.2 Hardware
The bit serial voltage type, which conforms to the RS-232C interface, is used for host computer
output of XE-2100. The serial interface port for the connection with the host computer is on the
rear panel of the IPU.
1. Connector
• Connect to the host computer output connector on the rear panel of the IPU.
• Use a 9-pin, D-SUB female connector.
• Pitch of connector fixing screws adopts the size in inch.

3) Transmission Procedure
The transmission method is class B (fixed). Make sure to set it class B. If the class A is set,
correct communication is not possible. The procedure to make inquiry on analysis
information from XE-2100 to the host computer is as follows:
• Analysis information inquiry text is sent from XE-2100.
• The host computer returns NAK if an error occurs with the data reception, and returns
ACK when there is no error, and then send the analysis information corresponding to the
inquiry.
• In the case of NAK, XE-2100 resends the analysis information inquiry text. In the case of
ACK, after receiving the analysis information text, XE-2100 sends ACK when there is no
error with the received data, or sends NAK if there is an error.
• The host computer closes the communication for one set of analysis information when the
returned response is ACK, or resends the analysis parameter text if the response is NAK.
Sends NAK if there is an error.
or ACK when there is no error.
Sends sample information text for
the inquired samples.
(Resends if NAK.)
(Resends up to 3 times.)
ACK: 06H, NAK: 15H
Sends sample information inquiry text.
(Resends if NAK.)
(Resends up to 3 times.)
Sends NAK if there is an error.
or ACK when there is no error.
[XE-2100] [Computer]
Figure A-4: Transmission Procedure

4) Transmission Error
If a transmission error is detected, the transmission is interrupted and the error message is
displayed on the IPU. The operator must recover the error. Cases of errors are as follows.
• Control signal "DSR" is OFF.
• After the data transmission, there is no response from the computer within 15 seconds.
• "NAK" is sent back after transmitting three times.
5) Inquiry Timing
• Real-time inquiry by sample ID number
At the time when a sample ID number is read from the bar code attached to the tube, the
inquiry is performed. If XE-2100 already has the analysis information, the inquiry is not
performed. After sending out the analysis information inquiry text, wait while receiving
ACK and receiving the analysis information text, then blood is absorbed after that.
• Batch inquiry by rack number and tube position
At the time when a rack number is specified by the IPU program of XE-2100, the inquiry is
made for the tube positions from 1 through 10 for the specified rack. There is not time limit
to receive the analysis information text after sending the analysis information inquiry text.
6) Transmission Interval
The transmission interval from receiving analysis information text from the host computer
and sending out ACK until the next sending of analysis information inquiry text, can be set
by the IPU program of XE-2100. This transmission interval is common with that of analysis
data.
7) Note on Analysis Data Automatic Output
When the analysis data is set to be output automatically by XE-2100, the communication of
analysis information and the output of analysis data may be performed alternately. In this
case when two different types of information are handled simultaneously, the response of the
host computer may become slower. Therefore, set the instrument to make the batch output,
not the automatic output to avoid slow response of the host computer.
2. Text Format
There are text formats for "Analysis information inquiry" and "Analysis information" regarding
the communication of analysis information between XE-2100 and the host computer. And these
are identified by Text Distinction Code I.
• The Text Distinction Code I of the "Analysis information inquiry" sent from XE-2100 to the
host computer is always "R."
• The Text Distinction Code I of the "Analysis information" sent from the host computer to XE-
2100 is always "S."

Bar Height: 20 mm or more (Rack label height: 6 mm or more)

8. Check Digit
To improve the reliability of an ID No. read, check digit(s) can be added.
Taking the Sample ID No. of "258416" as an example, let us explain how to calculate the check
digit for modulus 11 and weighted modulus 11.
1) Modulus 11
(1) Each digit is weighted. The weight corresponding to each digit is as follow.
Digit 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Weight 6 5 4 3 2 1 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
(2) Add up the multiplied results as given below:
S = 14 + 30 + 40 + 16 + 3 + 12 = 115
(3) When the S is divided by 11, calculate the remainder and obtain the complement of the
remainder. This complement will be the check digit.
115/11= 10 with remainder 5
11 - 5 = 6, thus the check digit is 6.
However, all English symbols except the numerals of 0 - 9 are regarded as 0 in making
calculation. Also, when S is divisible by 11 with remainder 0 and when calculation of
the check digit results in 10, zero is entered as the check digit.
2) Weighted Modulus 11
Weighted modulus 11 has two sets of weight. When the check digit is computed to 10 as a
result of applying the first weight set, the second weight set is applied. The result should
always be one of the 0 to 9 values. Calculation method is entirely the same as modulus 11
except for difference in weighting.
(1) Weighing Each Digit
Weight: W12 W11 W10 W9 W8 W7 W6 W5 W4 W3 W2 W1
First Set: 6 3 5 9 10 7 8 4 5 3 6 2
Second Set: 5 8 6 2 10 4 3 7 6 8 5 9
2 5 8 4 1 6
X X X X X X
8 4 5 3 6 2
Weight 16 20 40 12 6 12
(2) Add up the multiplied results as given below:
S = 16 + 20 + 40 + 12 + 6 + 12 = 106

(3) When the S is divided by 11, calculate the remainder and obtain the complement of the
remainder. This complement will be the check digit.
106/11= 9 with remainder 7
11 - 7 = 4, thus the check digit is 4.
However, all English symbols except the numerals of 0 - 9 are regarded as 0 in making
calculation. Also, when S is divisible by 11 with remainder 0 and when calculation of
the check digit results in 0, zero is entered as the check digit.
NOTE: • For Weighted Modulus 11, weight for the 13th, 14th and 15th digits are
assumed 0.
